Hi Charles,

I saw that you changed the list structure of the mailbox list. Now the HTML does not validate anymore because ULs cannot be nested directly within ULs. It seems to solve the highlighting problem but I'm not sure

with this solution. Alternatively we could apply all styles to the a-tag instead of the li. Any thoughts?

Hi, I didn't realize that was invalid HTML. It looks like applying the style to the link would look okay for root level folders, but it might not look as good for sub-folders. It looks like there would be a space on the left that wasn't highlighted.

One way around that would be to ditch the line seperating folder lists, and instead of highlighting the whole row, only highlight the name of the folder (ala Thunderbird, Outlook). It might not look quite as clean as it does now though.

The only other approach that I could see though would be to ditch lists altogether and switch to divs or tables which would mean we'd have to handle all the hierarchy manually, which would be a pain. I'll put some more time into this a little later.
